JOHN FIZER - Treasure Man LP

Barely saved from obscurity by a series of chance events, John Fizer’s only recorded album Treasure Man finally sees the light of day.

Forty-five years in the making, while for the last twenty-nine years Fizer has been “living rough” couch surfing, sleeping in play structures, friend’s backyards and more recently his old Volvo station wagon. Fizer is currently residing in a nursing facility in Northern California.

"The songs sound as vibrant as ever, weathered folk that sits between James Taylor, Cat Stevens, and Jim Sullivan. The b-side captures a ‘90s show at Freight and Salvage, recorded to an equally hard-loved tape, restored this time by mastering engineer Bob Katz. The studio and live cuts give a full picture of Fizer’s works, coming together into an album that may have never been were it not for the dedication of those who were enraptured by Fizer’s songs. Pretty early in the year, but Treasure Man is already leading the charge on top reissues for the year." - Raven Sings The Blues
